It will work if you have factory 20's or aftermarket wheels close to factory specs, but you will get a little rubbing at full lock.

I can easily forsee those tires rubbing man.. But until then, looks great!
For 37" all-terrains you have to get fiberglass flares.. and pretty much for 35" as well.
Again, looks good and hope it doesnt rub too much..

As of today I still haven't seen,felt or heard it rubbing not saying it hasn't but to my knowladge no rubbing so far. I am sure it will rube if i get really rough with it and if i go mudding but as far as driving daily to work and putting the pedal to the floor haven't ran into a problem. I have about 1" (give or take a little) before i hit the a-arm at full lock and if i dont get crazy it will do good for now while i am saving for a 6" left. Thanks for the comments and the advise!!!

Did the tire shop use spacers between your wheels and hubs? Might want to check it just in case. I have 305 70 18 M/T ATZ's and they rub at full lock. I would like to know what is different, why yours isnt rubbing.
